Application Guide
Infrared LEDs for Security Cameras & Night Vision
High-output IR illumination for surveillance, CCTVs, and night-vision systems that need reliable coverage in low or no light.
Key needs
- Meeting illumination range while controlling thermal load
- Choosing glow-visible (850nm) vs. covert (940nm)
- Reducing supply-chain risk with domestic production
Recommended wavelengths
Evaluate these options and compare output in the visualizer and charts.
Where these LEDs are used
CCTV and IP cameras
Perimeter and facility surveillance
Night vision systems
Wildlife and low-light observation
FAQs
When should I pick 850nm vs 940nm?
850nm delivers higher sensor response but shows a faint red glow; 940nm is more covert with slightly lower sensor response. Many systems test both.
Can these LEDs handle continuous operation?
They are specified with continuous current limits; ensure thermal design and drive conditions meet the datasheet limits for continuous or pulsed modes.
Do you support custom chip sizes?
Yes. Chip sizes are customizable; discuss your optical/mechanical needs with sales.
